In this episode, we sit down with Angie from Brain Code Centers to talk all things neurofeedback, brain mapping, trauma, anxiety, sleep, reactivity, and peak performance.

This conversation hit home for both of us in very different ways. For Sandy, neurofeedback became part of her postpartum healing journey and a tool to help with anxiety, trauma, sleep, and becoming less reactive as a mom. For Wade, it opened up a whole new lens on brain optimization, creativity, focus, flow state, and the idea of not leaving potential on the table.

We talk about what neurofeedback actually is, how brain mapping works, what it can reveal about your unique wiring, and how the brain can be trained to build new neural pathways through reward-based conditioning. Angie also shares powerful stories of transformation, from anxiety and sleep struggles to travel fears, brain injury recovery, and performance gains.

We also get into how differently our brains are wired, how understanding that has brought more compassion into our marriage, and why your brain is not something you’re just stuck with. It can change. It can heal. And it can work better for you.

If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do, why your brain feels stuck in survival mode, or whether there’s more potential available to you than you’re currently accessing, this episode is for you.

In this powerful episode of Getting Magnetic, Sandy and Wade sit down with Chrsity Nault, founder of Microflow, to talk about one of the most unexpected and transformative tools in Sandy’s postpartum healing journey: microdosing psilocybin.

After walking through trauma, postpartum anxiety, depression, and the long road of trying to feel like herself again, Sandy shares how Microflow became a meaningful part of her healing process, helping lift the heaviness, soften the anxiety, and bring her back into presence. Christy breaks down the science of microdosing, how psilocybin supports the nervous system and neuroplasticity, what it means to heal at the identity level, and why this medicine is about far more than just “feeling better.”

This conversation is deep, honest, and expansive. They talk about postpartum, trauma, spiritual connection, masculine and feminine energy, intention, motherhood, and what it really means to come home to yourself.

If you’ve been curious about microdosing, nervous system healing, or alternative paths to feeling whole again, this episode is for you.

This episode is one of the most personal, powerful, and hope-filled conversations we’ve shared in this postpartum healing series.

In episode five of Getting Magnetic, Sandy and Wade sit down with Dr. Carl Bonnett, founder of Klarisana, to talk about the treatment that became one of the biggest turning points in Sandy’s healing journey. After postpartum psychosis, deep depression, trauma, fear, and months of feeling like she was fighting just to make it through each day, ketamine therapy became a doorway to relief, perspective, and real healing.

Sandy opens up about what it actually felt like to walk into treatment terrified, what she experienced during her sessions, and how those moments helped her process trauma, grief, identity loss, and the crushing weight she had been carrying in her body and mind. This conversation goes far beyond mental health treatment. It is about pain, surrender, healing, rebirth, and what can happen when someone finally finds a path that helps them come back to themselves.

Dr. Bonnett also shares his story, what led him to this work, how ketamine therapy works, who it may be for, and why he believes true healing is not just symptom management, but a profound shift in the way we see ourselves, our story, and what is possible.

If you are in a dark place, if someone you love is struggling, or if you need a reminder that healing is real and hope is still available, this episode is for you.

In this deeply personal episode, Sandy and Wade sit down with Dr. Daren Brooks, founder of The Bridge Recovery Center, to share the next chapter of Sandy’s postpartum healing journey.

After a terrifying mental health crisis, a psych ward stay, severe sleep deprivation, and the weight of deep unresolved trauma, Sandy arrived at The Bridge just nine weeks postpartum, desperate for real healing and hopeful there was still a way back to herself.

This conversation is about what happened next.

Sandy opens up about what it was like to leave her newborn and family for 21 days, the fear she carried walking in, and the healing she experienced through a powerful blend of trauma work, nervous system support, movement, nature, bodywork, nutrition, spirituality, and compassionate clinical care.

Dr. Brooks shares the story behind The Bridge, how his own pain led him to create a place for people in the “middle ground” of mental health recovery, and why true healing is about more than medication, diagnoses, or survival. It’s about restoring life to living.

In this episode, we talk about:

postpartum depression and trauma

the gap between psych wards and real healing support

what The Bridge is and who it’s for

why nervous system regulation matters

healing through bodywork, ART, breathwork, nature, and connection

the role of medication in crisis and in recovery

what it means to build a bridge back to yourself

This episode is raw, honest, hopeful, and full of practical insight for anyone walking through darkness or supporting someone who is.

After a full year away from the mic, Getting Magnetic is back… but this time, it’s not about a schedule. It’s about sharing when we feel called.

In this comeback episode, Sandy gets raw and vulnerable for the first time about what really happened during Crew’s birth and the months that followed. From an intense labor and unexpected C-section, to the physical recovery that shook her… to the mental, emotional, and spiritual unraveling that no one prepares you for.

We talk about postpartum preeclampsia, sleep deprivation, panic attacks, paranoia, and the moment everything shifted when Sandy experienced a repressed memory surfacing one week postpartum — a moment that changed the entire trajectory of her healing journey and our marriage.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part postpartum series where we’ll share the full arc, the resources that helped, and bring on some of the key people who supported Sandy through the darkest season of our lives.

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversations around traumatic birth, postpartum anxiety/depression, postpartum psychosis, and sexual trauma. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

Part 2 picks up right as we take the first major step toward getting Sandy the right help — and it gets even more intense from there.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to the early days of my health and wellness journey—before the growth, before the wins, before the freedom. Just a few months in, I made one decision that changed the entire trajectory of my life and business: I said yes to attending our Global Training Conference in Vegas.

What happened there cast a massive vision for what was possible—and it lit a fire in me that’s never gone out.

We’ll dive into:

• Why vision is the foundation of real transformation
• The power of proximity—and why who you’re around truly shapes your future
• How live events carry energy that unlocks belief
• Why small steps, not giant leaps, are what actually change your life
• And how to start moving even when you’re not “ready”

If you’ve ever felt the nudge that you were made for more… this episode is your sign to follow it.
